I'm not going to do anything we aren't sure is actual BoC art... aka hooper bay, play by numbers, etc.

my vote went for twoism.

Either In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country, Geogaddi or Hi Scores, I'll decide soon.

I voted Twoism.

But.. these polls are always biased. I LOVE the cover to Trans Canada Highway.

that ones definately the most catchy. they are all equally good in their own right, kind of like the music.

IABPOITC for me. It defines the BoC sound most fully in that there is a sense of melancholy, absence or longing for the past. The design is simple in its layout with the black borders framing the slide-format images. And of course, the images themselves are iconic symbols for the music, providing fragments of information rather than the whole story. BoC in a nutshell!!!! The dusty window image is my favourite. Its like a garden shed that you couldnt get into when you were a kid. And the sinister shadow behind the glass means its probably safer that you dont go in anyway. Well creepy!

p.s. while on about arty/design stuff, i really like the new banners at the top of the Twoism forum pages - especially the one from Campfire with the man and boy. Well done whoever did 'em

I chose IABPOITC. All those images against a black background really does the trick. Whenever I hear the title track, it always conjures up images of bright summertime scenery against a background of dark storm clouds, which kinda goes along with the album artwork. That blue vinyl is icing on the cake.

After pondering for some time, I'm gonna have to agree with Celedon and Zander Two and go with IABPOITC. Now, that's my favorite COVER art...but if we're talking about the whole package then my favorite is Campfire. The foldout inserts and hazy photos inside are just fucking lush. It's really a beautiful setup.
